Unable to Restrain Themselves (II)

Dear Darleen Click,

You're the one using the word "darkies," not me.

So please don't put your racist trash in my mouth. Instead, dispose of it in your usual open container at Protein Wisdom.

No link, because whenever I direct readers there they later accuse me of leading field trips to toxic dump sites.

Also, "satire" is not a term that grants automatic absolution and immunization from analysis and judgement as to its intended motive, target, and receptive audience (Lenin's "who/whom?"), its presentation and tactics. Jokes, too, send signals; unfunny ones, the clearest signals of all.
